Why did Dredd flop?
Saw it yesterday, it's amazing, great visuals, great action, lots of gore and general a fucking badass movie.
>>70741025
inb4 the Raid is better
protip its not
Did it flop? That's a shame. Killer movie. Cinema I'd even say.
Poor marketing
Mostly blamed on lack of promotion.
Also males pirate movies more.
>Hard R-rating
>No marketing
>No big actors
>When most people think of Dredd they think of the shitty 90s Stallone movie
It's a damn shame tough, I agree it was great and would have loved a sequel
no marketing, no name recognition
this probably would have been a very successful movie 10 - 20 years ago in the rental/dvd buying era
Just kind of a hard movie to sell to the general audience unfortunately. No big action star like Stallone either.
It was grokkin awesome though, as a Dress fan I thought it delivered a lot of what I love about the comics. Would make a great Netflix show.
is 4chan an iso-cube
>>70741113
Karl Urban isn't big desu?
>>70741127
Dredd* fuck you autocorrect.
Same reason why Edge of Tomorrow didn't destroy the box office. No one knew it existed due to shit marketing, and it only now gets any recognition and bluray sales because of word of mouth.
Feels like a slightly higher budget of a sci fi channel movie
>>70741025
The part with the mind rape is top cringe.
She is supposed to be a powerful psychic and she is almost over come when she looks into the mind of a fairly run of the mill African american gentle man his brain is so full of fuck.
Its found it fairly racist and i browse /pol/ on the regular.
>>70741140
He's really not. He gets leading roles but most people don't know him.
>>70741163
Edge of tomorrow was pretty forgettable to be honest
>>70741174

did you even watch the movie, she's baiting him into a false sense of security
>>70741198
I disagree familia. Pretty sure it has one of the larger cult followings this decade.
>>70741025
3D gimmicks, CGI blood in them
and if it did get tons of promotion it would called a bad thing and make it plebcore
>>70741025
Marketing was shit.
>>70741213
Why is that necessary when she is a powerful psychic. He should have no defense.
He also seems to be aware that his powerful sexuality has over powered her. It was all just awful no matter how its framed.
>>70741231
What cult following?
>>70741284
>>70741284
what what? i think you need to watch it again, if anything, she let him think that he was in control because right after, she totally mind fucked him to the point where he pissed himself!
>>70741284
> He should have no defense.
you're making assumptions. Obviously the average person is not totally helpless against a psychic or she would have just mind fucked him from the beginning.
>>70741410
I'm with you Anon, but I know it frompremium cable.
>>70741284
also this is like saying if a boxer fights an amateur fighter, the pro should immedietly knock him out. Thats retarded, no matter how untrained someone is, they can still throw their hands and carelessness will get the other person knocked out. All footage you see of a pro fighting an untrained person goes the same way, the pro dodges a few wild punches and lulls the other person in a false sense of security by being on the defensive, then deals a knockout blow or a barrage that wins them the fight
bad marketing and it was originally named DREDD 3D or DR3DD or some shit when the 3d meme was dieing so everybody figured it would suck
>>70741025
Love how you listed literally everything a plebeian 14 year old looks for in a film.
This is why it flopped.
It's genrefaggotry for pre-pubescant teens
Poor marketing and limited 2D release.
>>70741523
>im a faggot who hates fun
i bet you enjoy the films of tarkovsky
No one knew it existed. The only reason I saw it is because my friends and I were at the theater, we saw the poster, and said "fuck it let's see what this is"
>>70741172
>Feels like a slightly higher budget of a sci fi channel movie
This!
Was fucking disappointing, when will the fucking moron producers realize that if you are going to tell a Dredd story, it either needs to be a MASSIVE scale block war or a Judge Death storyline, this time with a hot Judge Anderson who actually looks the part.
>those psychedelic as fuck slow-mo scenes

>>70741113
>When most people think of Dredd they think of the shitty 90s Stallone movie
I actually thought that they made the Stallone movie in 3D because I wasn't paying attention. I have it on DVD now.
No marketing
Was called DREDD 3D
Why didn't they call a helicopter to pick them up instead of going back in?
They could've come back with backup.
>perps were uncooperative
>>70741025
>great visuals
It's a good movie, OP, but you don't need to make things up.
Dredd flopped because of almost no marketing and a lack of big name stars.
>attempted murder of a judge
>the sentence is DEATH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUJkwWkyX70
>>70741659
Nah It's just the film was terrible. It didn't 'feel' like it had any connection to the franchise it was based off of.
>>70741025
Its a British film based on a British comic, it also doesn't have any high profile stars in the leading role, which is the only reason the first one was released in the 90s because they had Stallone. People in the states still remember the original one too, which was a really weak film, they didn't want another one in the states
Sentence isdeath
>>70741659
Are you implying one can't enjoy both?
Shit screenplay and writing, vanilla directing and overall dull cinematography, horrible 'actors' like Urban or Lena.
>>70743736
>which was a really weak film,
Britfag here, I just want to say that I enjoyed it, that is all.
>>70741025
It was barely advertised, I was the one of only 5 people in the screening when I saw it
everyone i know saw it once it was on netflix and loved it
i asked them why they didn't see it at the theater and they said they didn't know about it
>>70743829
>>70743879
I actually got a rental copy once it came out on DVD, that was the only time I watched it.
>>70741025
It was simply too good for the usual capeshit. People were looking for more Emo Batman nonsense and SJW, so the authoritarian, fascist-dystopic figure of Dredd was not of their liking
>>70743396
I love that line. To most people, what Dredd and Anderson experienced would have been hellish. To Dredd, it's just another day on the job.
>>70741025
terrible, terrible marketing
like the fact that it was exclusively promoted as "Dredd 3D" and it was extremely hard to find 2D showings
>>70743639
Stallones film was a parody of the source material bub
>>70743818
>horrible 'actors' like Urban
>rookie will never mindrape you
;_;
>>70741025
>why did it flop?
cos it's good
>>70743334
i hated that the green screen was so apparent in this sequence as you can see the green reflection of almost everythomg
>>70746501
thats a funny way to say "Dumbed down for Americunts so badly it removed it completely from the source material in the hopes of selling toys and tee shirts"
>>70746501
>making a parody of a satirical comic
Never go full retard.
>>70741041
agreed
>>70741025
probably marketing and the R rating.
would have been nice if they had stuck closer to the source material, probably would have cost too much for CG and props etc.
>>70746598
>>70746619
Exactly
Why does nobody ever mention how most of it looked like a cheap internet movie.
>>70741988
That's the whole point. It wasn't a Massive block war or humanity wasn't on the line. It was just a average day for Dredd.
Why did they drag along the nigger for so long? They should've just shot him when mama sealed the building
>>70741152
but was it autocorrect?
dress fan...
>>70747018
Because he helped flesh out rookie's ESPer powers and introduce us to the failsafe on lawgivers.
Really stupid thing to complain about.
>>70747102
I agree, I really enjoyed the interracial porn too, really made me think
>>70741041
disagreed
>>70741025
I think "Day in the life of" when concerning action stars is hard for most audiences. You think about most action films, we fucking know the protagonist inside and out before that 80 minute movie is up. We know the why, who and how in short constructed ways so we can easily pass off then next 60 minutes as "oh he can do that because THIS."
Dredd didnt have that, we took what we could from what they gave us, and to an audience expecting a "no think" action movie, that's a lot to ask for.
Also Karl is my husbano.
Marketing was shit but I was still planning on seeing it. 2 weeks after release it was pulled from my local theatre. Didn't end up watching Dredd until it came out on DVD.
>>70742044
>you will never take a massive hit of slo-mo while shitposting, making the time between each bump seem like decades
Why even live
>>70747018
Because Dredd is the LAW, not some vigilante. He always tries to bring the perps in alive if possible.
>>70741025
They pushed 3D too hard in the marketing and everyone thought it was just an effects spectacle.
Loved the interracial sex scene, very progressive, just wished it was longer

Pffft.
Look up Lily Labeau and happy fapping.

jeez thanks!
not that guy btw.
>>70749493
know any that looks like mama?
a combination of superhero and grimdark fatigue on top of it not being a big property
(i know he's not really a superhero, but that's the impression you get from the advertising)
>>70749493
Came here to post this.
>>70741025
I liked it.
>>70741025
Crappy marketing, and people thought it would be like that shit Stallone movie.
>>70750436
I liked the stallone movie.
maybe you gay?

Degenerate pls
It's a sad state of affairs when you have to spend money to the advertisement industry Jews in order to make money back. I still remember the utter disappointment I felt about Avatar . I expected something more after the extensive marketing brainwash we suffered for months
>>70741152

>Implying Urban had to do anything than grunt lines and shoot things
Dredd in movies should really just be an emotionless puppet. That's kind of the character, you never know what he's feeling, you just have to watch his actions.
>Lena is bad
Meh I didn't really notice. She's just a setpiece anyway
>>70741072
>>70754522
it's because women can't into technology
>>70741523
>this is why it flopped
then why did transformers make money?
>>70741041
Nah Raid its better.
>mfw Dredd movies always miss the dark humor the comics had
its a dressed up b movie
the only thing interesting was the evil judges but they sucked
>tfw Urban is still fighting for a follow up
>in "talks" with netflix to make a series.
Fingers crossed.
>>70741041
This
Dredd also went into production first meaning the story wasnt copied
Mama is not the law...
>>70741025
Yeah, it flopped pretty much for the reasons you said.
Good movies are largely ignored in this day and age.
>>70755395
Oh come on. The bum getting squashed by the door was funny as hell.
>>70741025
Because they had shitty advertising and what little advertising they did do focused on Dredd 3D.
>Bull nigger has Anderson helpless
>in a room with literally every kind of weapon imaginable
>feels the need to use the Judge's gun and blow his arm off
>>70741025
Niche character
No A list actors
Bad marketing
3D
It doesn't matter that much. It's an exceptional movie and I'd rather it was a faithful to the character than pander to demographics.
In 20 years it will still be respected.
>>70741182
How can you not know based Faramir 2bh
>>70755443
Seriously? You got me hype
somtimes im glad that i pay for Netflix so that they can make something i might actually watch
>>70758278
David Wenham played Faramir you stupid fuck
Karl Urban was Eomer
>>70758351
thats who i meant :^)
Anti-American
>>70741041
Raid is way better. Like in the next category better.
More fidelity to the action scenes, no fucking CGI reliance, much more suffocating and better fight choreography.
I love Dredd, but it is a pale shadow compared to The Raid.
>>70758514
The Raid was fun at the time but forgettable. Sorry. Only weebs and that type actually believe the 'The Raid is better' meme.
>>70741025
Public doesn't like male hero/female villain, especially when she loses as fantastically as she did.
>>70755443
That'd be pretty cool. Urban seems like a decent actor who just never seems to get into a successful role. He's like the anti-Keanu.
>>70758514
>better fight choreography
That's good if you like ballet.
Gun fights are bullshit too, but they're slightly closer to reality.
>>70758505
What was his quote about the price is freedom?
>>70758624
Dredd was more forgetabble.
Moments like the 2 on 1 fight or the machete fight are usuals in top whatever fight scenes.
Plus thats why Raid did so well despite being starred by literal no names as far as overseeas audiences goes.
Not even a semi known brand recognition helped Dreed.,
>>70746501
The stallone movie was as cheesy as the original comics, the only thing this new movie got right was Dredd himself.
>>70741025
Loved it all the way through. Just don't think the masses like bloody action sci-fi movies.
>>70754388
yeah i felt the same shit, not a bad movie but nothing really mindblowing
>>70743818
I thought Urban and Lena were great but you're just funposting
>>70741174
>I found it fairly racist
You are clearly an idiot if you think those scenes are racist
>>70741041
I feel like Raid fans are only one step above Expendables fans. The initial premise is great. Some dick head chief sends a bunch of honest cops into an overwhelming suicidal mission that they have to fight their way out of. Execution is just bad.
>>70760122
>Execution is just bad.
Nah its great.
Why?
It didnt bomb like your precious Dreed.
Bad marketing, stigma from the previous film, no A-list actors though Urban has been in a lot of stuff are probably the main reasons it flopped, but mostly the marketing. I'm sure it's been said a hundred times already too.
I didn't watch it till about a year or two ago. Upon release I thought it looked dumb and never gave it a chance and boy was I wrong. I fucking love it. I actually just watched it yesterday. The only problem I have with it is the CGI blood is a little silly and looks kinda shitty but the whole ultra-violence aspect was good though so it's a trade off. Really fun movie imo.
